@ktumulty Ugh. 1918

You know, I’ve been giving this a lot of thought lately but i think may have been a huge mistake to find the worst human being in America, make him President, and have him lead us to our doom.

Per Dem aide:
Schumer to Trump: "Is your plan to rely on the Syrians and the Turks?"
Trump: "Our plan is to keep the American people safe."
Pelosi: "That's not a plan. That's a goal."

I am a historian of US foreign policy. I have read many, many letters from US Presidents to foreign leaders, and I have never read a letter from the US President so unhinged, so threatening, so bizarre, so completely lacking in basic etiquette. Trump is deeply, deeply unwell.

Mitch McConnell has been key to helping Russian oligarchs with ties to Putin skirt U.S. sanctions and invest in an aluminum mill in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky. My Sunday column... https://t.co/q8dctEMFn8

Not a puppet. You’re a puppet.

You need this today.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

An American resident and journalist for an American newspaper was dismembered in the Saudi Embassy-a hit ordered by a Saudi prince.
It is sickening to hear a U.S. president dismiss this as the price of doing business.
What signal does that send?

As of today, I will no longer, ever again, repeat or quote any of the asinine nicknames that @realDonaldTrump comes up with for his adversaries. @twitter, hold me to it --

Point of personal privilege respectfully delivered: why do tweeps keep blaming the media for not covering things that were written about but not read or cared about?

Via @carlsonmargaret on Biden's Anita Hill revisionism: You don’t have to be a charter member of #MeToo to want to scream when he said, “I couldn’t come up with a way to get her the kind of hearing she deserved.” https://t.co/4JAz2w99qE via @thedailybeast

As we change our clocks, I think of my grandfather, A.J.Ploch, who was a longtime county commissioner in San Antonio. In 1969, he got a complaint from a constituent about this crazy idea of Daylight Savings Time:

.@PeteButtigieg pointed out something to me today that I had never put together: Three of our last four presidents were born within weeks of each other in the summer of 1946.

Nancy Pelosi has shown that she better than Trump understands the art of the deal in Washington. She is the one who succeeded in building a wall — and Trump ran right into it. https://t.co/UObxWXkXTM

Hee!

Why is it that we feel comfortable giving tax breaks to corporate billionaires but don’t think we can afford to provide health care for every man, woman, and child in America?
